Worn or corroded bushes allow lateral play inside the fork leg, introducing vagueness into the steering and increasing the risk of fork stiction under braking. The K-Tech SBS-009 addresses this directly: the multi-layer construction — hardened steel substrate, copper bonding layer and outer PTFE surface — provides a bearing interface that is both harder-wearing and lower in friction than a standard OEM bush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PTFE coating is particularly important for real-world riding. It maintains a consistent coefficient of friction across a wide temperature range, meaning the fork behaves predictably whether you are commuting on cold mornings or pushing hard at the track. The result is sharper turn-in, more progressive braking feedback and a front end that inspires confidence rather than doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bushes are safety-relevant parts. K-Tech recommends installation by an authorised K-Tech service centre, as specialist tools and technical knowledge are required to ensure correct fitment and to guarantee the performance and safety of the finished assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe K-Tech SBS-009 slider bush kit is designed and tested to fit the following model exclusively:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZF-R3 — model years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSBS-009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.00 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened steel with copper and PTFE coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 bushes per kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha YZF-R3 (2015–2018)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168845422858,"sku":"SBS-009","price":19.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/GBSKIT2_e8a6edec-8eb8-446f-8948-c70a8f7cf12f.png?v=1780817347","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/k-tech-fork-slider-bush-kit-yamaha-yzf-r3-sbs-009","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
